A Few Things I Learnt In Hall

After staying in Hall for so long, I manage to learn a few things which I started noticing when I moved back home.

1. You start to realise that you can stay in ur room for hours on end and never come out. Except for going the toilet, or to eat, or to settle ur laundry. (sounds like hooked on WoW)

2. You don't ever need the TV again. Your TV became the computer, which from the internet, can watch almost anything. Even though I have cable, I almost never need it, cept for soccer matches and some local tv. And there's too much american tv out there waiting for u.

3. Your computer is everything. It does your work, is your entertainment center, your pirate center. Now trying to doing everything at the same time and stress it out. Like american express, you can't do without it and when u leave home, you think about whether to leave it on to download before going out.

4. The internet connects you to the world. Without it you're like a hermit stuck on bukit timah hill. (Hell, i think they even have wireless there now) When your router breaks down, it's like your girlfriend breaking up with you. And you make sure it's work again within hours.

5. You realise you have double of everything, like toiletries, which should keep you in stock till the end of the year and beyond.

6. You also learn to keep a stash of food in the room for the midnite hunger dash, instead of heading to the kitchen and waking the whole family. A midnite snack is also always a part of the plan. And kicking the habit is like staying away from drugs or having a nicotine patch.

That's all I can think of now. Happy CNY everyone!!!
